Creating and Editing
Placed Features
In this chapter, you learn about placing and editing part features. Exercises step you through
creation of holes, fillets, chamfers, threads, shells, circular and rectangular patterns, mirror
features and analyzing faces.
Adding Placed Features
Placed features are common engineering features that do not require a sketch
when you create them with Autodesk
®
Inventor
™
. When you create these
features, you usually provide only the location and a few dimensions. The
standard placed features are shell, fillet, chamfer, face draft, hole, and thread.
Here are some of the tools for placed features, located on the Part Features panel
bar:
Places a fillet or round on selected edges.Fillet
Breaks sharp edges. Removes material from an outside
edge and can add material to an inside edge.
Chamfer
Places a specified hole in a part, optionally with thread.Hole
Creates regular and tapered external and internal threads
on cylindrical or conical faces.
Thread
Produces a hollow part with a wall thickness you define.Shell
Creates a rectangular pattern of features.Rectangular Pattern
Creates a circular pattern of features.Circular Pattern
Creates a mirror image across a plane.Mirror Feature
